Bon Cop Bad Cop

Bon Cop Bad Cop not Bad Cop Bon Cop as I'm sure some might confuse the title, I myself probably did at some point. Probably the best offering (that was available) that I've seen from Quebec since Seducing Doctor Lewis a year or two ago. It's witty, humourous, likeable characters, good story - what more can we ask for?
This police thriller comes about as a body is dumped right on the Ontario-Quebec border and two cops from two different cultural backgrounds must cooperate and ice the killer. Ice, as all his targets are prestigious names in hockey that contributed to, not a brain drain to the US, but rather a meltdown of hockey players to the US. In French and English, the film is a tango throughout but with fewer pauses as the action takes place. Car chases and explosions, previously unseen too much before in Canadian cinema takes after the Hollywood style which will be a surprising delight to even the most mainstream movie goer. While they're no Pierce Brosnan, Colm Feore and Patrick Huard give Canadian action films a boost.
Shoot first, translate later - this police thriller comedy is a must see for every Canadian, hockey lover, action lover and others.
